Race 7. (15:50) Sheraco Stakes (1200m)

The Bjorn Baker-trained mare didn’t fire in the Tatt’s Tiara last time out but that came at the end of an arduous campaign and she looks to have returned in good order.

A recent trial win at Gosford will have the daughter of Not A Single Doubt in top shape for her return and given her placings behind Impending and Santa Ana Lane last season, she is the class runner of this field.

The inside draw is ideal and she should start shorter in the betting.

Race 8. (16:30) Schweppes BM88 (1100m)

Punters were left in awe by Soothing last start when the James Cummings-trained runner scored effortlessly by 4.8 lengths.

That made it consecutive wins for the improving four-year-old mare, which could take another step in the right direction here. She has been primed with a recent trial at Randwick and she could go well again.

Race 2. (13:05) Horse Gym Australia BM78 (1600m)

Looked well above average last season, which included a run in the Queensland Derby. The four-year-old didn’t get much luck in his last two runs but his form prior was outstanding.

The Darren Weir-trained gelding scored three consecutive wins, which included a three-length win at Caulfield. That came over 2000m and although he’s facing a shorter distance here, he hits the ground running and should be tough to beat.

Race 7. (16:10) Bendigo Bank Stakes (1200m)

Had Osborne Bulls not drawn the inside rail, it would be $2 in the betting but a change of tactics might not be the worst thing for it.

The Cummings-trained star likes to get back during the run and storm over the top of them, which won’t be a possibility here and he will instead rely on some luck, but riding forward could work as well.

We wouldn’t be surprised to see Craig Williams push forward and let the talented gelding find his gears early.
